Yvette Rodriguez (Team Leader) Chapter Presentation Reflection

 I was open and thorough when I first started the speech class. I assumed that this class would be like most others in that you would be left on your own to navigate life. On this, I was terribly mistaken, as it turned out to be the exact opposite. The first task we had to perform was a group project in which we had to come together to present the allocated chapter and, in turn, teach it to the group. It was a little different in my situation and another student's case because we were tasked with aiding the teacher in guiding the pupils and introducing the presentations to the rest of the class. This was a fundamental leadership responsibility in the virtual classroom. This implied that every student would approach us with any queries they might have.


Group 1:

The intercultural communication chapter was used in the first presentation and group. In my experience, the group grew close and friendly to one another really soon. Throughout the entire project, they have shown a feeling of community and communication, and they continue to do so. They were also unafraid to ask questions, which in my opinion requires a lot of self-assurance in one's character. I've encountered a lot of individuals who tell me they are hesitant to approach anything because they could come out as too bashful, awkward, or other things. based on what I can tell, the gang has sufficiently strengthened one another to talk in class and raise their hands whenever necessary, or even just to engage in light discussion. They presented with a level of confidence that was clearly visible to me. Each group member was able to collaborate on organizing their PowerPoint presentations and deliver their assigned portion of the chapter demonstration.


Group 2:

There was a chapter on group communication in the case of the second presentation and group. This intrigued me since they ended up displaying the chapter they were supposed to teach to others throughout their presentation. These participants appeared to be having a fantastic time while coming together and applying what they had learned. If there were any difficulties during one of the member's sections, this group always assisted each other. Every time someone spoke, they demonstrated how important each member of the group was, as they had previously discussed. I observed that the group members were encouraging one another, which improved team spirit and appeared to aid in the easier presentation of the meme age. They did not ask many questions, which is another thing I noticed. But I don't think this was the reason; I think they didn't ask as many questions because they were able to ask each other questions and would only come to me if they were completely lost and didn't know the answer. During this presentation, I thought this was something that helped their group develop and work as a stronger team.


Group 3:


The chapter on leadership and problem-solving was available to the third presentation and group. Based only on the presentation, it is obvious that the group's members showed some leadership and problem-solving abilities when it came to assisting one another and resolving any issues that came up. Around the beginning of the presentation, Group 3 had some problems, but they were able to come up with a workaround. Because the affected technical difficulties were having problems during the presentation, the group decided to have me help them start the presentation. Due to this, it is evident that the information they have gained during the chapter for his presentation, they were intended to pass. The group's members obviously appeared to have split off to form their own leadership group; nonetheless, they continued to support one another as needed. They demonstrate that the group genuinely came together to give the presentation and collective effort their all. Like the other groups, this one didn't appear to require much assistance beyond occasionally understanding deadlines and other minor information.

                                                          By: Vlada Nekrasov The last assignment that we had to do as a group was to give an informative powerpoint presentation on gun laws around the world. This was a different approach from the previous powerpoint presentation based on the chapter discussions from the book. This time we had to direct our focus onto speaking instead of writing information on the slides. We were supposed to practice our timed speeches so that all of us could finish the presentation in an hour cohesively. In order to strengthen our speaking skills we had to include visuals such as graphs, videos and pictures. If you are not good at public speaking, this can make it a bit more challenging because it adds more pressure to the assignment. It was also a learning experience to not be emotional about the subject being ...

  Blog Post #2 (1000 words) Salim Adjouadi SPC 2608 November 15, 2022 In this blog post, I present a reflection of my own thoughts and about the new things I learned of what happens to immigrant families who cross the border into the United States, and about gun laws around the world. Group 2: Families at the Border Gabriela Vera expressed so well the many different reasons why immigrants leave their home countries. Of course, we all know about the level of poverty they endure at home, and the economic opportunity they see in America, but it is interesting to learn that some are also fleeing armed conflicts, lack of access to healthcare and education, gender equity, religious freedom, and political corruption leaving no opportunities for jobs for them to make a decent living in their own homeland. Gabriela gives the reasons of freedom of speech, access to a quality education and healthcare, opportunities for jobs as to why immigrants decide to come to the USA. Albert...

SPC2608                                         REFLECTION Group 3:     My group presented on gun laws around the world. My country was Italy where I spoke about their regulations on owning a firearm. Samantha spoke about the gun laws in the United States of America. It gave me a clear insight into what goes on in our country with gun regulations and statistics. After learning about the stats, it was clear that the United States needs more control over firearms because of the amount of violence that takes place. It was very interesting to hear Vladislava talk about gun control in Switzerland. They have an extremely low crime rate. She researched and discovered that there has not been a mass shooting in over 20 years. Switzerland is number 11 on a peaceful country's list. Although 2 million people legally own a gun, there are very few mass shootings. This is because they have str...
